I have a quite rare problem. I'm in Ireland and use 3 operator. It does not have coverage on many places and it has some kind of contract with o2, so whenever the signal it lost, phone automatically switches to o2. Problem is when I'm back in place with full 3 coverage again, WP does not switch back. I have to select network manually several times a day. It's very annoying. Is there an option somewhere in settings to disable roaming completely? I found it only for data but I need it for calls. Phone is Lumia 920.
Thanks

I imagine specifying your network provider as "3 IRELAND" or whatever it's called will stop it from connecting to O2? The setting is under Mobile Network (under the roaming options, at the bottom) and is set to "automatic" by default.

First thing I tried, but it did not help. Maybe problem is that the other network has same name - probably to ensure seamless switch. (it's actually Vodafone, sorry for my mistake: http://www.vodafone.ie/aboutus/media/press/show/BAU002953.shtml )

I'm not saying I'll be able to help, but could you elaborate a little on why roaming comes into this? Are you changing countries between two places where the operator is called "Vodafone"?

No I don't. It's actually a funny thing. I live in Dublin and yet you can find here many places without signal coverage. I think, but not exactly sure that 3 is the last operator who entered on a market here, so it does not have proper infrastructure and negotiated with Vodafone national roaming for places where native 3 signal is not available. In general it's not a big problem, you can make calls like in your home network, price is same, you can even see on your phone you are connected to 3 network but with a roaming. (because in fact you are connected to Vodafone)
I'm trying to disable roaming completely because mobile data on the roaming are just GPRS while in native 3, you got 3G.
It would not mind me if phone would automatically switch back on 3 when available. (when I had WP 7 it was doing like this) But now with WP8 the behavior seems to be changed and as soon as it enters the roaming it never reverts back to native network unless I manually select the 3network again.

Let the phone settle, I had similar issues when I first started the phone up. I suggest reboot, then select you provider again, under settings, more just below data usage,, then mobile networks. Ensure mobile data traffic is ticked, remove the tick and add it again, you should get a prompt message, if you see an error, then you should go down to network operators and reselect BELL, and try again.
Hey guys, so just curious, is there a way to force WiFi calling? My signal sucks in my house but my WiFi is awesome. Supposedly the device will prefer mobile signal if it is strong enough, but you can't physically choose WiFi calling to be default.
If anyone knows anything, let me know. I'm on EE.
when at home if you want wifi calling to kick in instead of celluar, do the following but it is a pain to remember to do it each time
Turn on Airplane mode
Turn on Wifi
Turn on Bluetooth (if you use bluetooth)
when you leave house, just turn off airplane mode
You can set it to prefer WiFi instead of mobile network, I don't know if it really works, my p20 pro is choosing WiFi always, even if both of signals are 100%

have wifi calling enabled, but if I don't want it to keep switching to cellular while at home, i have to switch to airplane mode, then re-enable both wifi and bluetooth. it then works, but have to remember to keep switching
you may not see wifi calling in the notification area, but when you make a call you will get the wifi notice showing

does it say wifi calling?
Has your provider allowed wifi calling on the device?
Also make sure you have enabled the option in the network settings and check under the default dialer wifi calling is enabled

Under Sim 1 there is a setting called Wi-Fi calling and it should say enabled, if not choose it then enable feature
You can also get to this from the default dialler by choosing settings

I think that's your problem, O2 do not support wifi calling on the device, both Three UK and EE do, not sure about VF either

do you still have the 3 sim? if not are you able to get one for testing?
I've attached screenshot showing the wifi calling option on the phone with Three sim installed
Call carrier support / Check firewall
I had to call vodafone. After some time they decided to disable wifi calling feature for my account for a couple of minutes and re-enabled it. That worked for me. My phone instantly logged into wifi calling again.
Also make sure that outbound connections to port 500/4500 are not being blocked by any firewall/router.
How do you set Wifi to be preferred instead of cellular?
Hello,
when i receive calls, my MiA2 6/128 refuse it randomly.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks.

When you make a call, does the network stay on 4G or does it switch to 3G ?

So you haven't got VoLTE. Maybe it's a slow fallback issue. If you receive a call while you are on 4G, the phone switches to 3G or to 2G and, if this switch is too slow, the caller sees you as not reachable.

Try with another SIM with a different network, so you can understand where the problem is.
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I'm facing this issue as well. The phone simply doesn't ring when a call comes from certain numbers. I've confirmed that these numbers are NOT in the 'blocked list' in Phone app.
The only way to know that a call is missed is to open the Phone app and see that a number is blocked. Happening with 2 different Mi A2 devices in the house
Has anyone figured out a workaround?
Disable spam protection
Apologies for a late reply. Disabling "Caller ID and Spam" in the Phone app does not seem to help. Am I missing something? Is there any other way?
I'm missing the option to set my device to 4G only. Under "Settings" -> "Network & internet" -> "Mobile network" -> "Preferred network type" I can switch only between "2G/3G/4G" and "2G/3G". I miss further options and especially to set it on "4G" or LTE only. Because my network provider is pretty bad at 3G but quite good at 4G, even when 3G signal is much stronger and 4G signal is weak.
I don't care if I can't take voice calls in this mode.
Edit: I see there are apps on the store to do this. Though would be great to do it within the ROM.

Telefonica (former E-Plus) in Germany. As far as I know, Voice over LTE doesn't work with them.

My old phone did, when LTE signal was weak (but still available), and I assume, any other phone will do so as well. But data was much more reliable within 4G than 3G, even when signal was weak.
I play a gps-based online multiplayer game and whenever someone complained about bad data, I hinted to set their phone to LTE only.

If u want to play game while having mobile data only mode activated then use option mobile data only in "game genie" while playing a game and option appears on either side of the phone to activate no calls no alerts option along with the one you are looking for.
Hope it helps.

Anyone knows the actual difference between 4G and 4G+ icon on top bar? I've got the international version with MEO provider (Portugal), and I never saw the 4G+ icon active.

4G+ Means LTE-Advanced aka True 4G, and it is faster than 4G. The only difference is the maximium theoretical speed, bandwidth and minimium latency you can get. 4G can reach speeds up to 100Mbit/s, while the 4G+ (LTE-A) can reach up to or over 1GBit/s, with less than a few milliseconds of latency.

As far as I see, this option does not set "LTE only" but data only. What I need is to set the phone to LTE only. Thanks anyway.
